B. Presentation of Lesson

C. Lesson Proper
The voice of an action verb indicates whether the subject performs or receives the action.
There are two types of voice: ACTIVE VOICE and PASSIVE VOICE.
ACTIVE VOICE
When the subject does or “acts upon” the verb, the sentence is said to be in the active
voice.
Formula: Subject + Verb+ Object
(doer of the action)

Study the following examples. These show that the subject is doing the verb’s actions.

1. The rich man’s servant usually cooked special food.

Subject- The rich man’s servant (singular)
+ verb - usually cooked (past tense) + object- special food

2. Carlos Bulosan reveals the reality about social discrimination in the text.
Subject- Carlos Bulosan (singular) + verb- reveals (present tense)
+object- reality about social discrimination

3. The judge pounded the gavel.

Subject- the judge (singular) + verb- pounded (past tense) + object- gavel

4. My brothers throw pieces of coins in a straw hat.

Subject- my brothers (plural) +verb-throw (present tense)
+ object – pieces of coins in a straw hat

PASSIVE VOICE
 When the subject receives the action of the verb, the sentence is said to be in the passive voice.

Formula: Subject + Verb Phrase (be + past participle form of the verb)
(receiver of the action) + object

These examples show how the subject-verb relationship has changed.

1. Special food was usually cooked by the rich man’s servant.

Subject–special food (singular) + verb phrase-was usually cooked (past participle)+ object- rich man’s
servant

2. The reality about social discrimination in the text is revealed by Carlos Bulosan.

Subject- the reality about social discrimination (singular)

+ verb phrase- was revealed (past participle) + object- Carlos Bulosan

3. The gavel was pounded by the judge.

Subject- the gavel (singular) + verb phrase- was pounded (past participle)+ object- judge

4. Pieces of coins are thrown in a straw hat by my brothers.

Subject- pieces of coins (plural) + verb phrase- are thrown (past participle)
+ object- my brothers

The subject in the active voice becomes the object in the passive voice; the
object in the active voice becomes the subject in the passive voice.

Tips in Changing Active to Passive:

1. Identify the verb and its tense, then move the position of the
direct object at the beginning of the sentence. This time, consider
the number (singular/plural) of your subject which is the object of
your sentence in the active voice.

Analysis
Active: The government gives relief goods. (Present Tense)
Passive: Relief goods are given by the government.
(Relief goods –plural, present tense verb, so the verb phrase= are + given)

Active: Many boys helped the wounded men. (Past Tense)

Passive: Wounded men were helped by many boys.
(Wounded men – plural, past tense verb, so the verb phrase= were + helped)

Active: Someone will take my gadgets. (Future Tense)

Passive: My gadgets will be taken by someone.
(My gadgets-plural, future tense verb, so the verb phrase= will +be+ taken

Active: Arthur will send a package.

Passive: A package will be sent by Arthur.

(for future tense use will be + the past participle form of the verb)

Active: Bong writes a letter.

Passive: A letter is written by Bong.

2. Add an auxiliary verb “be”: be, is, are, was, were, am,
being, been before the main verb (past participle form of the
main verb)

Active: Sheena is bringing imported goods.

Passive: Imported goods are being brought by Sheena.
Let’s Learn!

3. Add the preposition “by” followed

by the doer of the action
